Hidden Pipe Leak Detection in McLean, VA | Veteran Plumbing Services
You Might Be Living with a Slow Leak—and Not Know It
I’m Dennis Rollins, retired U.S. Navy Chief and owner of Veteran Plumbing Services.
I’ve walked into countless McLean homes where the air smells just a little… off.
Homeowners blame it on age, moisture, or even their pets.
However, I’ve some news for you: that musty smell could be a hidden pipe leak, allowing mold to grow inside your walls.
And by the time you see the stain or feel the damage, you’re already in deep.
Why These Leaks Are So Sneaky
Hidden pipe leaks often start small.
A tiny crack in a copper pipe.
A loose fitting behind the drywall.
A pinhole from corrosion.
You can’t see it, but it’s soaking into the insulation, the wood framing, or the flooring.
In McLean homes, I’ve uncovered:
- Water-damaged wood floors under bathroom sinks
- Mold is spreading behind the kitchen cabinets
- Rotting joists from slow basement pipe leaks
- Constant moisture in laundry rooms without a visible puddle
These slow leaks cost thousands in repairs—and that’s before the mold remediation bill shows up.
How to Know If You’ve Got a Leak
You don’t need to be a plumber to sense when something’s off. If you live in McLean and notice any of the following, it’s time to call me:
- That “old basement” or damp smell
- Sudden increase in your water bill
- Wet spots on drywall, ceilings, or floors
- Constant running of your water meter (even when no one’s using water)
- Mold or mildew around baseboards or under sinks
I use thermal imaging and moisture meters to locate pipe leaks without tearing apart your walls.
Then I patch, repair, or repipe as needed to stop it for good.
Don’t Let a Small Leak Become a Full Renovation
Here’s the deal: most pipe leaks I find in McLean could’ve been caught earlier.
If your home is 20 years old or older and hasn’t had a plumbing checkup, you may be at risk of silent water damage.
One phone call can save your drywall, flooring, and wallet.
I treat every McLean job like it’s my own home.
